Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Samurai and Valkyrie. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.
(Vale, Mt. Glenn.)
Aero had seen the moon several times in his life growing up, when he was 12, he hadn't given much thought to why the moon was shattered, when he had become 13, he had briefly gone through reasons as to what had happened.
Sno had long since passed out, leaving only Aero, Nora and Ren awake as they all gazed up at the moon, all in pajamas
"The moon is beautiful this time of night…. Hey, Ren? You remember that time me and Nora stole from that corrupt store owner when we were 9? This reminds me of that time…. But we were sleeping in trees back then…. I never thought we would… You know, make it this far…. I mean, this is our first official mission, outside of Beacon or in it… You think we're…. You think you are going to look back on this mission when you graduate? I am…"
Aero said, setting his glasses to the side, he didn't need them to see, but they did help his aiming as Ren simply grunted in response before properly answering.
"I don't know, maybe, maybe not…. We are still going to have to handle the mission in the morning… I'll make sure to go with Sno to get the ammo drop tomorrow morning."
Ren put in as Aero nodded and looked at Ren one last time.
"See if you and Sno can find a map of the underground while you're at it, otherwise we're be running through a maze down there... Now get some rest, Ren… Me and Nora will be up a bit later before we go to sleep…"
Aero ordered as Nora finally put in her two cents as Ren started to close her eyes.
"Well, it is pretty… It's the first time we've been on mission… That still means we can enjoy all of this, Ren… We should be grateful boss man Aero was able to get us this mission in the first place… It might not be the most important mission in our lives, but its one that will stick with us for a few years or so to come…"
Nora said as Aero nodded at her, still not entirely used to her sudden bursts of knowledge as Aero looked up at the sky.
"Yeah, this is really good experience for the future, Ren… It isn't just fun, its personal help for us when we get older… Besides, we have something to do finally, what did you want to do? Have your head buried in a book the rest of your time at Beacon, taking written tests until you graduate? That isn't going to make you ready for when we move onto the real work."
Aero muttered as Ren, not sure what to say in response, decided to simply go to sleep as he passed out,
"Nora, how much ammo do we have left? I left an emergency stash of ammo and Dust crystals in one of the storage rooms down the hall if we need, I just need to know much we need to ration for the next day… We don't know how many Grimm are in the tunnels… There could be a dozen, or a few hundred… If there's that many, we're going to need as much ammo as we could possibly get our hands on…"
Aero said as Nora nodded and started rifling through the ammo that she and Aero cracked his knuckles as Aero looked down at the city where the rest of the Grimm were milling around as Aero looked back at Nora as she continued to count grenades and bullets as he grabbed for one as Nora slapped at his hand.
"NO! I HAVEN'T FINISHED COUNTING THEM YET, YOUR MESS ME UP IF YOU STOP ME NOW!"
Nora roared at him before slipping back into her childlike personality as Aero put Lupis Nix to the side and leaned back on his sleeping bag to go to sleep.
"Ok, I'm going to go to sleep soon, Nora… I need to get some rest… You need to get some rest soon as well… ARMN has a mission tomorrow and if we aren't ready for tomorrow, we're going to die… So, get some sleep for tomorrow in a few hours or so…"
Aero muttered as he started to slip into being unconscious as he shared one last look at Nora before he started sleeping as he cracked one eye open.
"Ah… Nora? You're in charge of waking up Ren and Sno before getting another 3 hours of sleep… Night."
Aero muttered before finally slipping into unconsciousness for the night as Nora hummed a response before continuing to count the rest of the ammo in the room as she gazed up one last time at the moon before going back to counting as she brushed off the dust from her pj pants as she closed her eyes halfway.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter done! Yes, this entire chapter was about showing ARMN and their first time in MT. Glenn before they decided to head into the underground to get the object Ozpin wanted them to get in the first place. Next chapter will be on next, next Saturday and will show ARMN headed into the underground. Until next time, Lighting Wolf out!
